Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 496 Reaching the Capital
"I was afraid that you would be too boring by yourself, so I came here to accompany you," Han Duyue smiled and sat next to Song Ning, and then said to Song Er who was opposite, "This carriage is too crowded, you go to the first carriage and stay there. "

Suran was the only one left in the first carriage, and Han Duyue's intentions were very obvious.

Song Er scratched his head, glanced at Han Duyue, then at Song Ning, then got out of the carriage silently with a blushing face, and climbed into the first carriage.

Only Han Duyue and Song Ning were left in the carriage, Han Duyue whispered: "Song Ning, what should I do if I suddenly feel a little nervous?"

Although she always knew that she would go to the capital to attend Princess Yuping's wedding, Han Duyue didn't think much about it. It wasn't until she really set off that Han Duyue suddenly felt a little nervous.

This time the destination was not from Qingyuan Village to the town, nor from the town to the county seat, nor from the county seat to the prefecture, but directly from Qingyuan Village to the capital.

The capital city, that is the capital here, Han Duyue never even thought that he would set foot in this magical place one day.

Song Ning reached out and pulled Han Duyue into her arms, and said with a soft smile, "So there are still things in this world that make Xiaoyue feel nervous."

Han Duyue touched Song Ning's chest with her elbow, and couldn't help laughing: "It's fine if you don't comfort me, but you still dare to make fun of me."

Song Ning rubbed her chest exaggeratedly, and her voice became gentler: "Then what is Xiaoyue nervous about? Since Princess Yuping invited us to Beijing this time, and sent a carriage to pick us up, it is natural that everything has been considered carefully. No, nothing will happen."

"But the fight between the rich and powerful is too complicated. As a little peasant girl, I really don't want to be cannon fodder." When she came to this world, Han Duyue never dared to take herself too seriously. The princess valued himself, and that was probably on the premise of not endangering the relevant interests.

For those who are in the vortex of the court's interest dispute, Han Duyue does not expect Princess Yuping to be truly affectionate to her, at least she dare not leave everything to Princess Yuping to arrange.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyue, I won't let anything happen to you," Song Ning rubbed Han Duyue's head, her voice became softer, "We'll all be fine."

Han Duyue is not a pessimistic person at all, the reason why he said this to Song Ning is because the two are the closest people in the world, so he couldn't help but confide a few words. Also feel more at ease.

"With you here, of course I'm relieved, and it's an honor to be able to go to the capital. Let's just take it for fun," Han Duyue replied with a sweet smile in her heart, and then changed the subject. "By the way, in the previous letter from the princess, did you say anything about helping us arrange a place to live?"

Song Ning paused her hands, and her voice was slightly serious: "The princess did mention this matter in her previous letter. She has already arranged a villa, and you can live there directly when the time comes."

Han Duyue was keenly aware of Song Ning's words, and asked, "What about you? Has Princess Yuping also arranged a place for you?"

As two people who are engaged but not yet married, it is impossible for Princess Yuping to let her and Song Ning live in the same garden.

"My elder brother has already arranged a place for me when he heard that I'm coming to the capital, so you don't have to worry." Song Ning replied.

His tone was very flat, but Han Duyue could still feel the seriousness and a little bit of unfamiliarity in his words.

That unfamiliarity couldn't be aimed at Han Duyue, so it could only be because of Song Ning's elder brother.

Han Duyue didn't know Song Ning's family members very well, but she also heard Song Ning mention that Song Ning had an elder brother who had won the first prize, and he should be an official in the capital now.

"Are you talking about your elder brother?" Han Duyue asked a little cautiously. She knew about the bad things going on in Song Ning's family, but she didn't know what role his elder brother played. "You took the initiative to tell him, Do you want to come to the capital?"

Song Ning shook her head helplessly. If possible, he would not want to deal with this elder brother at all: "For such a big event as Princess Yuping's marriage, even the list of invited guests must be handled by the Ministry of Rites. My eldest brother Although he does not work in the Ministry of Rites, he is one of the six ministries, so it is normal for him to have contacts with each other. This time he probably learned about it from his colleagues, and he even wrote to me specifically, asking me to come to the capital to Live directly with him."

"So that's the case." Han Duyue nodded dryly. She didn't know what to say to Song Ning's elder brother. After all, she didn't understand, so even if she was worried, it was a bit difficult to say.

"Although my eldest brother and I are not close, we are brothers after all, and nothing will happen." Song Ning saw Han Duyue's worry, and comforted her with a smile.

Han Duyue nodded, and said: "When we arrive in the capital, it may be even more difficult for us to meet, but you can write to me, we are definitely not far away, and it will not be troublesome to communicate."

It stands to reason that in an unfamiliar place like the capital, Han Duyue should not have so many scruples, but this time she came here at the invitation of Princess Yuping, and her behavior also represented the Because of Princess Yuping's vision, she should pay more attention to her actions.

In addition, Song Ning's elder brother is also in the capital, if Han Duyue and Song Ning are too close, it will leave a bad impression on him.

Although she doesn't have a good feeling for Song Ning's elder brother, it's not bad after all. Han Duyue doesn't want to be hated by the other party before meeting, although she may already be hated by the other party because of her identity.

"Xiaoyue, you just need to be yourself, and I will do everything else." Song Ning didn't want to see Han Duyue forcing herself for the sake of the world, he wanted to always see Han Duyue's true temperament.

Han Duyue smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, I will never let myself be wronged."

The carriage traveled along the road at a leisurely pace. Although it was a bit boring, Han Duyue was not bored with Song Ning's company. Time slipped by day by day with the wheels of the carriage. , the carriage finally slowly approached the south gate of the capital.

Han Duyue saw the towering city wall from the window of the carriage from a distance, and the thick city gate facing the road was marked with the three characters "South City Gate", which looked extraordinarily majestic and made people feel a sense of solemnity involuntarily. Affection.

"It's finally here." Song Ning said with a smile.

Han Duyue glanced at Song Ning, covered her chest and said, "Song Ning, I seem to be a little nervous again."

"Fool." Song Ning directly raised her hand and pressed on Han Duyue's head.

A row of carriages entered the city without any inspection. After all, it was the princess's carriage, and no one dared to stop it.

Song Ning had discussed with Han Duyue before that the carriage should go to the Princess's Bieyuan first. Although Song Ning doesn't live in Bieyuan, firstly, he must send Han Duyue to the other place to be at ease. He also wants to express his gratitude to the princess together with Han Duyue.

Although Song Ning and Han Duyue didn't take the initiative to come to the capital, to be invited by the Princess is a matter of gratitude. Even if you don't think so in your heart, you have to do it on the surface.

When they arrived at the Bieyuan, the two waited for a long time before Princess Yuping finally took time out of her busy schedule to receive the two of them. However, there are many rules in Beijing, and Song Ning thanked Princess Yuping through the screen. Without saying a few words, he left.

After that, Princess Yuping and Han Duyue went to sit in the pavilion in the garden of Bieyuan, catch up on the old days, and chat again.

"Xiaoyue, you are finally here." Princess Yuping smiled kindly.

But after not seeing each other for a long time, Han Duyue seemed a little strange to Princess Yuping: "I don't know how the princess is doing recently?"

"Of course everything is fine for me, but I've troubled you all the way. You won't blame me, will you?" Princess Yuping saw something, and the expression on her face faded slightly.

Han Duyue hurriedly shook her head: "How could it be, the princess is willing to invite me to your wedding, I'm too happy to be in time."

"Xiaoyue, I haven't seen you for a few months, but you and I have gotten a lot stranger again." Princess Yuping looked directly at Han Duyue, and said her words very directly.

Han Duyue was startled, wondering if he was acting so obviously?But after thinking about it, it's not surprising that a shrewd person like Princess Yuping can see it.

She considered it for a while, and said in a low voice: "The princess is the princess after all, even if I want to get close to the princess, I dare not forget my identity."

At this time, it would be better to retort or perfunctory in tone than to tell the truth. After all, Princess Yuping is not a person who is easy to fool. If the other party sees something, it will be even more self-defeating.

Princess Yuping sighed softly, looked at Han Duyue and said, "Xiaoyue, you easily believed Mr. Song when he gave a letter of guarantee. Do you want me to write you a letter of guarantee now?"

"That's not what I meant," Han Duyue raised her head abruptly, and looked at Princess Yuping in surprise. She didn't expect Princess Yuping to say such words, "I didn't mean that, I just..."

"You didn't mean that, but you still want to do this, isn't it hurting my heart?" Princess Yuping looked at Han Duyue with a serious expression, which made her feel terrified and guilty.

Han Duyue didn't know what to do, she pursed her lips, and after a long silence, she finally took a deep breath: "I'm not afraid of the governor's anger, I didn't dare to relax before, but I was actually thinking about my low status after all, I can't compare with many people and things, so I dare not take it lightly. But since the princess said so today, if I doubt the princess again, I will be too ignorant."

"Then do you really regard me as a friend now?" The princess still looked at Han Duyue seriously.

Han Duyue nodded solemnly, feeling extremely ashamed of her suspicions before: "Yes, I already regard the princess as a friend now, no, it should be a best friend."
